An assessment was carried out at the site of a proposed dwelling, associated stables and stable yard. The site was near a cropmark, recently identified through aerial photography. The cropmark indicated a circular enclosure and associated field systems. The proposed development was c. 200m north of the cropmark.
Seven test-trenches were mechanically excavated to subsoil. No archaeological features or finds were revealed in any of them. An anomaly noted in this area on the aerial photograph was investigated by one of the trenches. It was of no archaeological significance and was probably the result of waterlogging or other geomorphological processes.
